Marine mobile radar unit with trailer

The Commonwealth of Virginia Marine Resources Commission is seeking to procure a marine mobile radar unit with trailer for use by the Virginia Marine Police in surveillance of oyster grounds after hours. The Invitation for Bids (IFB) specifies that the radar unit must provide 24/7 real-time monitoring, remote connectivity, customizable security zones, alarm notifications, and integration with additional sensor packages. The radar unit could be set up in a non-disclosed location and operate as an unmanned surveillance system, providing alerts when someone enters restricted areas. Bids are due by March 27, 2024, and the contract period is from the date of award through August 15, 2024. Pricing for the radar unit and trailer, as well as any required software support, upgrades, hosting, and training, must be provided.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with priority given to DSBSD-certified micro and small businesses, provided their bid prices are determined to be fair and reasonable. The IFB also includes requirements for small business subcontracting plans, compliance reporting, and eVA vendor registration. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the available budget range is not specified.
